You have m muffins and s students. You want to divide the muffins into pieces and give the shares to students such that every student has m s muffins and the minimum piece is maximized. Let f(m; s) be the minimum piece in the optimal protocol. We present, by examples, several methods to obtain upper and lower bounds on f(m; s).
